Oh, then tell me, Sean O 'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so.
Hush, awokel, hush and listen, and his cheeks were all aglow.
I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon, for the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon.
By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon.
For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon.
Oh, then tell me, Sean O 'Farrell, where the gathering is to be.
In the old spot by the river, rightful known to you and me.
One word more for signal, token whistle of the marching tune.
For your pike upon your shoulder by the rising of the moon.
By the rising With your bike upon your shoulder By the rising of the moon Out from many a mud-walled cabin eyes Were watching through the night Many a manly chest was throbbing For the blessed warning light Farmers passed along the valleys Like the man she's lonely groom And a thousand blades were flashing Greetings
from the Northwest Homeland, comrades.
It's August the 29th, 2013.
I'm Harold Covington, and this is Radio Free Northwest.
Well, guys, I need to begin by telling you that this week's Radio Free Northwest is going to be largely other people, guest speakers besides myself.
And I have to admit that this week the show has been kind of slapped together as quickly as possible.
Because this week, and actually for the rest of the month, I'm going to be rushed off my feet in a very good way for the party, but rushed off my feet nonetheless, and every hour of productive herald time behind this keyboard counts.
Now, it is now the run-up to the end of the month when I have to not only do a Radio Free Northwest for the week, but also a Northwest Observer.
Now, this isn't only the end of an average month.
This is the run-up to the Labor Day weekend.
When we have an activity coming up, which requires planning and preparation.
But in addition to all of the above, I now have not one, not two, but three, count them, three major writing projects that I have to somehow find the time to concentrate on.
A lot of the other stuff I do, it's getting to the point where I can pass it on to some other people I've got here in the Seattle area.
Very fine comrades, but unfortunately, the actual writing and creative stuff, I pretty much have to do all by myself.
And that's going to take up a lot of my time and concentration.
Now, one of these writing projects is the September issue of Northwest Observer.
In honor of my 60th birthday on September 14th of this month, the entire publication is going to be one long, good old-fashioned HAC rave, like I used to spend all my time doing back in the day.
So this month I'll be doing most of my ranting and raving on paper, as in days of old, and I don't know how much I'll be able to spare for verbal ranting here on Radio Free Northwest.
Plus, some of you may recall that in the past I've recommended the months of September and October to be just about the best time for prospective migrants to take their scouting trips, and this year people are taking me at my word.
I just spent almost a whole day this weekend with a comrade from New York who has finally come home, who moved in several days ago, and we have a large number of new comrades who are coming here to the Puget area over the next two months, either coming home permanently or doing their scouting trips.
And I'm going to have to spend a lot of my time between now and Halloween or so pressing the flesh, as the politicians say.
All this is going to cut into my time over the next few weeks, but I promise that I will do my best to maintain the overall quality of the Radio Free Northwest podcast.
I know that RFN is the most popular thing we do.
It's kind of the NF's flagship at the moment.
But, for now, here's Andy.
Greetings from Seattle, comrades.
Andy Donner here.
Last time I was on Radio Free Northwest, I promised a set of lectures on white character.
More specifically, How to recover it like the party tells you to.
You're still going to get them.
But a question Mr. Covington responded to recently set me off, and I've got to deal with a certain subject which actually prevents character development.
In the past, I've used a particular formula and pattern for determining what objectives, strategies, and tactics are worth pursuing, and it's the rubric I intend to use for delivering lectures on white character.
Having very briefly discussed how I determine what's required to set the party up for revolutionary success, I've had to study the material left to us by those who have completed the task before me.
When I've made attempts to motivate the Radio Free Northwest audience, I've referred to the behavior I'd like to see from those with Northwest Front aspirations as revolting against yourselves.
Obviously, that title assumes there's something wrong with white individuals, and that's clearly self-evident.
There's something wrong with our race, and its character.
But races are made up of individuals and only individuals.
If there's something wrong with our race, then there must be something wrong on an individual level.
And if that's not enough proof for you, keep in mind that, as I said last time, the party has asked for the solution to this problem on a regular basis.
Someone out there agrees, at least in principle, with us entirely.
And you should too.
Further...
If we claim to have the solution to our impending genocide and, as I assert, the individual white character problem is a microcosm of that same genocide, I'm going to have to man up and actually take on detailing the character solution.
If nothing else, that's consistent with what the party has told you all before.
Naming the problem and talking about it isn't the same as solving it.
That's what sets the party apart in the white nationalist movement, and we had better keep that up.
But here's the trouble.
As I already said, I can't do that just yet because something's in the way.
If the first step of progress is step one, we're not quite there yet.
Today's talk is going to be step zero.
Stop going backwards.
A lot of this material I've already covered in other places.
But before anyone makes progress on any task, they must prepare themselves.
Mostly by removing any impediments to forward momentum.
Oddly and conveniently enough, these barriers are actually things which result in backward momentum and therefore character regression.
Like I said last time, ongoing problems must be squashed before anything significant can happen.
Squashing character killers is a great way to build character even before you really get started doing so.
Today, I'm going to cover another of these impediments white nationalists are so fond of.
I've done a few of these before on a prior Radio Free Northwest, and I refer to them as anti-organizational methods.
I'm going to cover another anti-organization activity which people use as yet another excuse not to do anything.
I dread this discussion more than the actual process of white character recovery, because it involves the pink elephant in the room no one really wants to cover.
There's not another subject which can drive people around the twist, quite like the issue of faith in the movement.
And that's what I need to explore right now.
Not so much the idea of religion itself, or what religious beliefs I have, since neither of those things are relevant.
This is geared towards the way some people use religion in general, and their religion specifically, to provide a distraction from actual racial effort.
Before I really get off and running, I'm going to need to get the standard party boilerplate religion statement out of the way.
The Northwest Front has no position on religion, because it can have no such position.
Race is more important.
It is a matter of what a person is through their biology.
It is far and away more critical than a particular set of faith-related opinions.
There is no religious clause in any party literature, propaganda, or other such position-defining publication and or product.
There never will be.
We're a community of blood and not of faith.
There is no religious barrier in the proposed Northwest American Republic Constitution.
And classes of citizenship are based on individual achievement and accomplishment.
Religion doesn't factor into what the party thinks of a person.
There are those of every faith and no faith who support the party and are involved with this.
There are those of every faith and no faith who oppose the party.
Why, then, is this religion thing such a big deal in the movement?
And more importantly, how does it relate to white character?
And what can an individual do about its effect on them personally?
I regularly hear from all quarters how religious differences are splitting the movement and dividing our race.
I don't think for a second this is actually true.
What a person does with their religion tells us quite a bit about them.
This is due to a couple different factors.
Every faith provides some variety of apocalyptic get-out-of-jail-free card, as well as something to hold over another white person's head.
On thinking about this further, both of these reasons have the same fallacy at their core.
In practice, they're both a reason for you to do nothing.
Everyone you've heard on Radio Free Northwest has spoken at great length on the subject of rejecting reasons to do nothing.
But this religion thing takes the cake.
It's not really that different in nature, but the length to which white nationalists use religion as an excuse to fail to act dwarfs all other excuses.
In fact, I've seen people of every faith go so far as to blame all other religions in the movement for the fratricidal wars and other problems our race has always encountered.
It's a way of blaming everyone but them, which is why it's such a convenient canard.
If everyone else is at fault, why actually do anything about the act of genocide of our race?
I have to stop and point out one critical clarification.
In the past, when Radio Free Northwest has dealt with sensitive issues We've been careful to remind the audience we're almost never talking about one person in particular.
To be fair, that's the way it usually should be.
This time around, as before, there are going to be plenty of people all over the world who think I'm talking about them personally.
The difference here is that I am.
I'm talking about all of you personally.
Yeah, you heard that right.
With very few exceptions, the party hasn't been harsh enough in its criticism of you all.
Since you're either not taking this stuff about racial responsibility seriously, or you're one of the people who likes to talk about what others ought to do while you avoid effort at all costs.
As I pointed out before, at least some of the audience has made the choice to admit they have some sort of problem and are in need of a solution.
It's not too much for me to insist the rest of you at least get to that point.
And quickly.
I'm not at all asking anyone to drop their religious beliefs, or lack thereof, since that would be dumb.
Religion isn't causing the problem, so changing religions isn't the solution.
What I am asking, though, is that you be aware of the problems the misuse of your faith causes.
And with that, I'll explain the trouble with the religion issue.
I can barely get on Facebook without seeing someone insist that religious differences are ruining the movement.
But are they?
As I said, there are those of every religious persuasion and no religious persuasion for and against the Northwest Imperative.
Which is the only solution to white genocide.
That being the case, it doesn't seem like there's much real religious ruining going on.
Outside of the fact that the people whining in this manner aren't ever going to actually contribute to any racial progress, it's important to observe the apocalyptic get-out-of-jail-free facet of the issue.
The most obvious form of this phenomenon is actually not something found in the movement.
The Judeo-Christian version of end-time events, aside from the inbuilt kike-worshipping drivel, Guarantees that all a person has to do is follow their particular version of the faith and everything is just fine for them since they won't be here for the bad stuff.
The question is, what does this have to do with white nationalism?
It's actually pretty simple if you think about it.
While avoiding the various theologically distinct details of such scenarios, it's not just various Christians who have this problem.
Some religions promise a race war or Ragnarok or the rapture or some sort of calamity or event which we just have to accept.
The common theme here is that we either can't or shouldn't do anything about our current situation.
To be fair to those of various faiths, I'm not knocking the concept.
Rather, I'm concerned with preventing incorrect application.
I've seen material from some, but not all, Odinists claiming we need to sit back and wait for Ragnarok since it's clearly the only way out.
I've heard from other circles that Rohawa is finally starting and we don't need to do anything to benefit our race since the end is upon us.
Is the pattern starting to appear, guys?
How many times have various Christian branches claimed that some event, always depending on their exact beliefs, is imminent?
Truth be told, we've heard this a few times a year every year for the last 2,000 years.
How often have any of them been right?
And no, like I said, I'm not here to bash Christianity, or another religion.
Just the way some, but not all, Christians use their faith.
And that's what I'm doing to every other religion, too.
We've heard racial war is finally on the horizon every year for the last few years.
And to be honest, I'm starting to see this from other white beliefs as well.
It's old, guys.
Really old.
Having been raised in a Yehudi church, I can tell you all about the psychosis which goes hand in hand with this sort of thing.
Every few years, another version of this craze starts up, and in order to avoid being disappointed, The overwhelming majority of adherents will simply hop on the next bandwagon that much sooner.
The brain damage this behavior causes is such that most of these people suppress memories of being involved in the previous craze.
No, I'm not making this up.
Anyone of any faith who focuses on this aspect of their beliefs always ends up a gibbering loon, and it has nothing to do with their chosen belief system.
It's just a massive flaw they carry around within themselves, instead of purging their own silliness.
Various types of Christianity, some racial, some not, were predicting the end 50 years ago and relying on political conditions which no longer exist.
But their followers are still using that material and acting as if it's relevant.
The same goes for other white faiths.
We've been hearing about Ragnarok and Rahoa longer than I care to think about.
This problem is a bit more obvious in that it creates a motivation in people to do nothing since there's no point.
So far, none of the doomsday scenarios we've been presented with have panned out.
What this tells me is that many are more willing than not to go along in hopes that they won't have to expend any effort on the racial struggle.
Can we please mature past this point?
After all, we've had how long to do so?
The much larger and much more important misapplication of religious faith in the movement is that of holding your faith over someone else's head.
What's funny about this is that I've been told by very upset people of every religious persuasion that I'm clearly of whatever faith they don't like, or no faith at all, because I've asked them to back off on religious commentary where it's doing no good, or worse, doing harm.
As it turns out, these people are seemingly involved in nationalism for religious reasons and not nationalist ones.
I've also been told that everyone who is not of a particular religion doesn't understand white nationalism or politics, since, if they did, they wouldn't be of that faith.
The trouble is, I've heard this from every possible religious perspective.
Which of these people is right at the expense of all the others?
None of them.
If any of them actually had some sort of secret understanding, they'd be able to communicate it as well as whatever solution they possess in secret to the rest of the movement.
As it turns out, They're just crying for attention they can't get any other way.
In both fallacious cases, the people involved are really just covering up whatever sick little insecurities they have with a shield they built out of their faiths.
Especially in the instance of beating some other white person with this shield, the weakness of it all is quite obvious to everyone else.
You don't have something of your own to offer, so you have to find it outside yourself and then berate other people in order to feel good about your own screwed-up character flaws.
There's nothing wrong with whatever religious belief a white person has, but there can certainly be something wrong with that same person which will cause them to act in the way I've outlined, regardless of which belief they adopt.
Based on the case I've made here, the best description of the overall problem is that these people lack character, or else they wouldn't resort to horribly dysfunctional ways of relating to other white nationalists.
The best way to react to what I have to say would be to stop hiding your lack of character behind a religious facade.
The entire movement is tired of putting up with your bad behavior.
It's time to face the fact that you, as an individual, have a severe personality defect which makes you act this way outside of your religion and, more importantly, outside of other people's religion as well.
I'm aware of John DeNugent's efforts to create yet another heroic white religion, as he puts it.
He says he's seeking to find a way to wake up our race from our slumber.
Aside from the idea of waking people up, Being an anti-organizational tactic which is subconsciously intended to allow the participant to avoid real work, we've always had some sort of heroic racial religion and that hasn't reversed a single cycle of white genocide in history.
Going as far back as we can to the era of the Vedas and Aryan India, there doesn't seem, as far as we can tell, to have been more than one white religion.
And that one religion was pretty heroic any way you slice it.
Today, India is the quintessential third world country and it always will be.
So much for diversity of religions causing our race's problems.
In fact, from what I remember of my limited studies of the Aryans at the time, it seems as though our race was already at war with itself in the form of various tribes even before it set up the first well-known civilizations in history.
Fratricidal wars aren't the fault of Christianity or any other modern white religion, because as history shows us, Such things are not to be placed at the feet of any religion whatsoever.
I don't mean to bust John de Nugent's hump over this, but I had hoped by now, each and every white person would know better than to think a religion is going to be the cause of and or the solution to white genocide.
Races don't change much over time, and I would suspect that our race, throughout all history, has hidden within it some version of character problems which we're seeing on full display right now.
All of this infighting isn't caused by one religion or another.
So leave religion out of it.
This infighting has probably always been caused, when not instigated by the Jew, by people like those I've spoken about today.
Those who either want an excuse not to do anything or don't have anything to offer so they blame other people for their own failures.
Can we all, please, come to some understanding that we're not going to act that way anymore?
I admit I'm asking for quite a bit here, since we don't seem to have done this before.
But I really do need you guys who act this way to stop being so screwed up.
Maybe if you'd actually buckle down, clean up your act, and seek to implement the Northwest Imperative, you'd end up realizing you never needed to fight over something so unrelated to securing the existence of our people and a future for white children.
Here's what you need to take away from this.
Don't use a religion, either yours or another person's, to cover up the fact you have a character problem.
When you do so, you're telling everyone around you how insecure and screwed up you really are.
Further, you're letting the rest of the movement know you're just involved to grind an axe, and therefore aren't really needed.
Stop doing things you shouldn't be doing, especially getting hung up about someone not sharing your faith.
I round your hair decreto my hair mindset If we can
go back to the street I notice it is a good place Oh N#!
People N#!
They leave the gebracht hands with open señor Oh N#!
Oh N#!
We'll see you next time.
We'll see you next time.
We'll see you next time.
We'll see you next time.
This is a saying we need to repeat as to why we need secession.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
What we cannot change is the Federal Reserve, impeach Obama, stop Obama from opening the borders to masses of immigrants, stop the Federal Government from stealing your money from the banks like they did in Cyprus, and restore any part of the Constitution.
The people of America are living in a free speech zone.
You can demonstrate all you like, but no one is going to listen to you.
We have to have the courage to support the secession of Washington State from the Union and Idaho and Oregon.
In the state of Washington, we have a state referendum, and by such referendums secede from the Union and become a sovereign and an independent nation.
We have to have the courage to move to the Northwest and stop all this silly nonsense of thinking we can abolish the corruption that goes on inside the Beltway.
About 700 years ago, an Archbishop of Prague visited Rome and said that Rome was the Beast of the Revelation.
Today, the Seventh-day Adventists are still saying that Rome is the Beast of the Revelation, whereas Jehovah's Witnesses are saying that it is the United Nations.
However, the European Union building in Strasbourg is a replication of the Tower of Babel.
We need to keep our mind open to the idea that there is more than one beast.
So whatever we consider to be the beast of the Revelation, we must grant ourselves the serenity to accept the things we cannot change.
What did change in history is that an island in the northwest corner of Europe became the center of Protestantism.
That island became the British Empire, and the sun never set on the British Empire.
The northwest is the beginning of a new Jerusalem.
The song sung by the British Nationalist Party is Jerusalem, written by a British Israelite, otherwise known as Christian Identity.
We need to change the last words to "And Jerusalem was builded here, on America's green and pleasant land." And now for something completely different.
They have found Pharaoh's chariots on the bottom of the Red Sea.
Of course, they have been there for 3,400 years.
They crossed between what we now call the Sinai and Saudi Arabia.
In our day and age, we can dive down with scuba diving equipment and even send down remote cameras, which are never available before now.
Some of the wheels were made of gold.
There is an ancient pillar on both sides of the Red Sea where they crossed.
The pillars appear to be Phoenician.
The Exodus teaches us a lesson.
It is time for the White Exodus.
The White Christian Exodus to the Northwest.
Detroit has gone bankrupt.
The waters of the Nile have turned to blood.
So how many more miracles do you need to persuade you to get out of Egypt, or the East Coast?
Are you going to wait until your firstborn is murdered before you start your exodus?
On another front, I hear that the United Kingdom is going to restore conscription, known as the draft.
The second reading will be coming up soon in Parliament.
Conscription?
You've got to be kidding me!
So how many Muslims are going to enlist?
If the Muslims enlist, England will experience fragging.
Fragging means officers being shot in the back by their own soldiers.
When it comes to loyalty to one's race and nation, there is no room for political correctness.
Soldiering requires an understanding of motives, such as loyalty.
Are the British officers from Sandhurst going to be as stupid as the politicians and accept Muslims as loyal soldiers?
The Muslims will never be British soldiers.
And if they cannot be soldiers, then they cannot be citizens either.
It is time for the British officers to do what Oliver Cromwell did to Parliament.
Close it down.
But did you know that there is only one person and one person alone that can be blamed for reducing England to a cesspit?
All bills, before they become law, have to be signed by the Queen.
The rubber-stamped Queen has never refused to sign into law a single bill from Parliament.
The End
Oh Good afternoon, comrades.
I find it ironic in many ways, given the society we live in, that I was drawn to talk about tolerance today.
However, by tolerance, I don't mean the definition that is currently prevalent, what might be called new tolerance, but rather the classical or traditional definition of that term.
Webster's defines tolerance as, quote, tolerating or being tolerant, especially of the beliefs and customs of others, even though these are not like your own, unquote.
Based on this definition, tolerance would mean to allow, permit, or recognize, and respect others' beliefs and customs without sharing them.
Most of us would recognize this definition because it's what our ancestors, including many of our parents, and most definitely our grandparents, meant when they talked about tolerance.
That is not the meaning of tolerant that has slipped into our society in the past few decades.
This new meaning is based on a pluralistic view.
On the surface, it seems to be the same as what has been traditionally believed in white society, but they are, in fact, very different ideas.
The biggest difference is the way in which values and ideas are evaluated.
Rather than respecting someone else's right to believe as they do, even though you don't share those beliefs, and may even think they're wrong in their belief, New Tolerance claims that all beliefs are equally true and equally valid.
As such, it refuses to distinguish between truth and error, or even right and wrong.
I won't go all philosophical on you, but I do believe if we really sit down and take a long hard look at our lives and the world we live in, it wouldn't take much work to recognize the fact that absolute truth does exist.
The fact that a black man can never be a white man is an absolute truth, and there is nothing anyone can do to change that truth, no matter how hard they try.
And they certainly have tried very hard over the past hundred years.
So getting back to the problems with this new definition of tolerance, it is impossible to implement consistently.
In order for there to be an act of tolerance, whether new or traditional, a disagreement must be present, since if the idea or belief was agreed upon, there would be no need for tolerance.
Therefore, in order to tolerate someone else's idea, you must disagree with them, and the implication is that their idea is wrong.
But how can that be since all ideas and beliefs are equally true and equally valid?
But wait!
It gets better!
Say you've decided to finish that bachelor's degree you started so many years before, or you're fresh out of high school and just going to college for the first time.
You're required to take certain diversity classes in order to complete your degree, and in one of them...
You're required to endure a section on tolerance.
The first slide in the instructor's presentation says, All views have equal value, and one view should not be considered better than another.
Alright, so far, so good.
You've seen this before, and you don't necessarily disagree.
At least in theory.
But then the next slide appears, and it says, Jesus is the only way to heaven, and any teaching or religion that says otherwise is wrong.
Okay, stop throwing things at me.
I didn't say that.
The instructor did.
This slide definitely meets with some resistance and is claimed to be an example of the kind of intolerance that must be eliminated.
Yet the very fact that there is resistance demonstrates that you're being intolerant.
And that's the problem.
Both statements are viewpoints held by different people.
So if the first is true, that all views have equal value, And one view should not be considered better than any other, then you would have to conclude that the second statement is just as valid and just as right as the first since all views are valid.
To say otherwise is to show intolerance to the second slide.
In other words, if all views have equal merit, then the view that Jesus is the only way to heaven and any teaching or religion that says otherwise is wrong is just as true and just as valid as the idea that Jesus is not the only way to heaven.
And any teaching or religion that says otherwise is wrong.
But this is hopelessly contradictory.
If the first statement is what tolerance amounts to, then no one can be tolerant because tolerance turns out to be gibberish.
In this definition of tolerance, someone must necessarily be considered intolerant, which is the whole point, since it keeps people like you and me from voicing perfectly valid opinions and truths about race out of fear of being called intolerant.
And finally, new tolerance has problems because some issues must be measured as right or wrong.
No one likes to be called intolerant, and in fact we often go out of our way to avoid it, even though there are times when it is essential to point out that something is wrong.
Therefore, not all ideas can be treated as equal and valid.
Otherwise, any extreme belief, such as white genocide, can be justified.
Traditional tolerance provides boundaries that allow us to measure right and wrong.
New tolerance tries to eliminate those boundaries in order to make anything permissible, up to and including the destruction of our race.
Just remember, traditional tolerance values, respects, and accepts an individual without necessarily approving of or participating in his or her behavior.
It differentiates between what a person thinks or believes and the person himself.
Of course, that doesn't mean we have to allow what is destructive to our race to continue to exist.
But it does mean you can work alongside that white Christian or Odinist or atheist whose beliefs differ from yours and whom you sincerely believe is wrong with tolerance in order to secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.
However, we can't make that happen until such time as all of you are ready to do something about it.
Hail victory, comrades!
Hail victory, comrades!
Hail victory, comrades!
Thank you.
Okay, I figure it's time I briefly dropped in again.
Apropos of more or less nothing, for some reason this past ten days or so, I've gotten a flurry of questions or accusations that a number of famous white historical figures were either Jews or faggots.
Now, this is a common phenomenon.
Both the Kikes and the Bugger Boys love helping themselves to other people's history and culture, and they love claiming things that never happened as theirs, and people as theirs who would be outraged over the very suggestion if you could go back in a time machine and tell them that history was now remembering them as Jewish or queer.
Most of these accusations are just silly.
For example, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci are always accused of being faggots solely because of the fact that they never married.
And because they occasionally drew or sculpted nude male figures, like every other artist of that era when they were trying to imitate Greek and Roman culture.
Yeah, I suppose it's possible that they were queers, but the main thing about all this is that no one knows, since we have no time machines and we can't go back 500 years and peep into people's bedrooms.
And in point of fact, almost all the extant historical fact we know of is against it.
Now, the accusations against Michelangelo and Leonardo are so obviously stupid to anyone who knows anything about the 15th and 16th centuries that it really cheapens both these geniuses for me to respond to it.
Now, the only thing I can say to answer these idiots in 25 words or less is that in those days, marriage wasn't about sex.
It was about the money and the power and business and family alliances, and both of these men, artistic geniuses though they were, were also impoverished rolling stones with no fortune, no property, no titles of nobility, no family connections, and no fixed address.
And they were not considered suitable for the marriage market, which may have been partly their own choice, but not because they were homos.
Leonardo and Michelangelo both did, in fact, refuse several offers from powerful men to settle down at their courts, including the King of France, Francis I, who was kind of a collector of geniuses.
But there were strong political reasons for their refusing as well, since for about 50 years the French had this habit of invading Italy every few years.
Leonardo designed a lot of his war machines in order to repel French invaders, in fact.
Most likely, Leo and Mike were workaholics, wrapped up in their art, and they just did not have time for a wife and a family.
Believe it or not, in that day, as well as this, some men are not all about women.
And some of us can do quite well without them.
And no, that does not make such men homosexuals.
My guess is that in an age when prostitution was perfectly open and above board all throughout Renaissance Italy, Michelangelo and Leonardo made use of Ladies of the Evening, and it was considered such a normal thing that no one at the time even bothered to mention it.
Although if either of these two had in fact been fudge packers, and it had become known, I'm sure some Renaissance gossip like Burkhardt or Cellini most certainly would have mentioned it in their memoirs.
They never did.
Actually, despite certain admittedly bawdy chronicles of the time, most people just didn't really think or care too much about normal sex between men and women unless it involved the rich and the famous, and unless it had political or scandalous angles like the Gisualdo murder, or like when the Borgia Pope, Alexander VI, hooked up with a 16-year-old girl named Giulia Farnese, and the Italians nicknamed her the Bride of Christ.
Now, another of these strange obsessive movement rumors that came up recently is this idea, which has been floated largely by Jews who want to claim everything in the past for their own, that Christopher Columbus was a Jew.
No, as a matter of fact, he wasn't, and the idea is absurd, but once again, you have to know history and be familiar with that particular time and place to understand just why it's so absurd.
Now, let me take a crack at it.
First off, let's think about this.
1492, the year Columbus set sail, was the same year that Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain defeated the Muslims and ordered the Jews out of Spain.
I know because I published their expulsion order on my blog.
Now, does anyone really think that when this character shows up at their court talking about a round world and sailing towards Asia to the West and asking for a lot of money for ships and men, Does anybody think these two monarchs wouldn't check him out, see who he was, who was asking for their money?
In that very same year, they threw the Jews out of their country.
Does anyone think that Ferdie and Izzy would give a large amount of money to a Jew on spec like that?
Isabella even pointing her jewels to raise the money for him?
You think that these two who have been fighting against Jews all their lives don't know a kike when they see one?
In fact, do you think that's the first thing they wouldn't have checked to make sure that Columbus was a Christian and he wasn't trying to pull some kind of Jew scam on them?
I took the time to check all this out before I came on this week, by the way.
First of all, believe it or not, people in most parts of Europe did keep birth and death records in the 1400s, although admittedly a lot of them are hard to find nowadays and have been lost.
Not so in Columbus's case.
The name of Columbus's father Domenico and his mother Susanna are known, as was the fact that his father was a weaver in Genoa.
Now, if you know anything about the medieval economy, you will know that in European cities you did not practice a trade.
Unless you were a member of the proper guild, and you had gone through an apprenticeship.
And Jews were not admitted to guilds, especially economically powerful and important guilds, such as the weavers and the drapers, the cloth merchants.
Nor was intermarriage allowed between Jews and Christians.
So the claim that Columbus's mother was a Jew has no basis in reality, and yes, there are Christian women named Susanna.
Oh, by the way, did I mention that there is no existing evidence of any kind at all and whatsoever that Columbus was Jewish?
I went to the trouble of looking over the main Columbus was a Jew site on the internet before I came on here, and mostly it's just a long rant about how persecuted the poor Jews were in medieval Spain, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and there's nothing there.
The main reasoning behind this stupid idea seems to be that Columbus left some money in his will to a Jew in Lisbon.
He didn't say why.
Hey, maybe he had a Jewish friend.
Columbus wasn't Jewish, he was Italian, but historically speaking, the Italians have always had a much more laid-back attitude towards the Jews than many other European people.
And Columbus wasn't necessarily anti-Semitic as we understand the term.
Or at least no more so than everybody else at the time, so it's entirely possible he left money to the Portuguese Jew because he was a friend.
Maybe it was to pay back a loan.
Who knows?
But just because Columbus left money in his will to a Jew does not make the man Jewish.
This is an example of the kind of ridiculous little nitpicking factoid that our movement obsessives seize on all the time to feed their obsessions.
But guys, let me ask you something.
Why would you want Columbus to be a Jew?
He didn't discover America, true, the Norse did 500 years before, but Columbus' discovery was the one that actually took and established permanent contact between Europe and America.
I think it's entirely appropriate to celebrate October 12th, and it shouldn't be just Italians doing it.
Why would anyone want a contribution to Aryan history like that to be made by a Jew?
It's like we've become so ashamed of ourselves that every good thing we ever did has to be done by the Jews or niggers or faggots.
You know, we've got some pretty sick puppies around in our own movement.
And don't even get me started on John Wilkes Booth.
Okay, second music break.
This is our monthly obligatory rock piece with clanging electrical guitars and lyrics too soft and mumbled to be understood.
The group is called Casualties and the song is called Break the Sword.
Or maybe it's the other way around.
I don't know.
I forgot who sent this in.
I forgot who sent this in.
It ain't gotta work when they wobble, We got over 50,000 gangbangers out there.
We got over 50,000 gangbangers out there.
We got over 50,000 gangbangers out there.
We got over 50,000 gangbangers out there.
Yahweh made us worthy to fight the beast and defend our people.
In a great thing's failed, it's only brought us dead.
End culture class before there's nothing left.
American puppets, snap your strings.
Awaken to the call, and what truth brings.
They're not all equal from a race of heart.
Remember our dead, modern God forgot.
We'll cease the slaves and our people's sorrow.
Take command of a bright new tomorrow.
Victims of a non-white hole.
Casualties of an unseen war.
Victims of a non-white hole.
Casualties of an unseen war.
The End you Okay, we're now so far into the show that I don't really have too much time left to rant and rave, but there is one housekeeping detail that I want to get into here at some length because I'm having a problem with it.
Some weeks ago, a longtime supporter in Maryland sent me a letter, and he asked me for certain specific Northwest Front products and propaganda aids, specifically several copies of a particular back issue of Northwest Observer, because there was an article in it he liked, and he wanted to send it to some of his friends.
He also asked for about 20 or 25 of the special Northwest Front postage stamps that many of us are having custom made on the web.
And by the way, any of you who want to make your own Northwest or other racial postage stamps, go to Zazzle.com.
That's Z-A-Z-Z-L-E dot com.
They make custom designed legal U.S. postage that you can mail a letter with and you can put a tricolor or anything else you want on the stamp.
After about a week, I think, I eventually sent this gentleman in Maryland the stamps he asked for.
Actually, I sent him all the stamps I had left myself, but I just plain forgot to send him the back issues of NO that he asked for, and yesterday I got a letter from another supporter gently reminding me of the Maryland guy's request.
This embarrasses the hell out of me.
You have no idea how much.
That's the kind of thing that happens to other fearless leaders, not the mighty HAC.
Ever since I've been involved, one of the most common snide and derogatory remarks that people have always had about the white nationalist movement, and every group and grouplet in it, is that so-and-so doesn't answer his mail, and they don't fulfill their book orders, even when you send the money.
I recall that back in the day, by which I usually mean pre-internet, one of the ways that I survived during the silly 70s, the idiot 80s, and the nutty 90s, Was that I developed a sterling reputation among all the white comrades and supporters for always answering my mail.
The word was out.
Hey, you got ten bucks to spare for the cause.
Send it to Covington.
At least you'll get an acknowledgement.
Now, in the movement of the time, that was unparalleled.
Now I'm losing that reputation.
It's excruciatingly embarrassing for me to find myself in the position of having to be reminded of a book order because I just plain let it slip my senile mind.
Even though this guy from Maryland placed his order by snail mail, that's one thing about the internet.
It's so quick and easy that it allows for a much larger volume of traffic, and it's just so easy to let an email slowly start slipping down and down the queue in your inbox until all of a sudden it's a couple of weeks old and you've never answered it.
I always try to answer all my email in regular mail, or at least acknowledge it with a monosyllabic grunt to show that I've gotten it.
Snail mail also has developed a very bad tendency to simply pile up on my work table, because writing a letter is so much more work than an email.
It's very hard for me to describe to you folks my daily routine, at least not with any coherency.
Mostly, it consists of a kind of triage, figuring out what I absolutely have to deal with next, and dealing with demands from people who, for one reason or another, I can't blow off.
That I drop everything and immediately attend to their needs.
But somehow or other, dealing with a huge stack of snail mail on my work table always seems to come into last place in my priorities.
That is wrong of me, and I apologize six ways to Sunday, but I'm not going to be so foolish as to promise to change.
Look, I want to tell you guys something.
From now on, just FYI, when there is something you want from me, when there is something that I have promised to do for you, I want you to ride the hell out of me over it.
Send me email after email with big capital letters in the header.
Harold, do this like you said you were going to do.
Whatever it is.
Text me.
Call me if you have my number.
Ride my ass until I do what I promised I was going to do.
Because otherwise, with the best intentions and the best will in the world, I will simply forget.
And whatever promises I make you, it will just slip through the cracks.
This is Jimmy Buffett.
In the middle of late last night, I was sitting on a curb.
I didn't know what about, but I was feeling quite disturbed.
A street sweeper came a-whistling by, he was bouncing every step.
It seemed strange how good he felt, so I asked him while he swept.
He said, "It's my job to be cleaning up this mess." It's enough reason to go for me.
It's my job to be better than the risk and that makes the day for me.
I got an uncle who owns a bank, he's a self-made millionaire.
He never had anyone to love, never had no one to care.
He always seemed kind of sad to me, and I asked him why that was, and he told me it's because in my contract there's this clause that says it's my job to be worried half to death, and that's the thing people respect in me.
It's my job, but without it I'd be less than what I expect from me.
Now I've been lazy.
I've done most of my life writing songs and sleeping late.
And any manual labor I've done was purely by mistake.
If street sweepers can smile, then I've got no right to feel upset.
But sometimes I still forget Till the lights go on And the stage is set And the song is on Can you feel that sweat?
It's my job To be different than the rest That's enough reason to go for me It's my job to be better than the best, and that's a rough and brave for me.
It's my job to be cleaning up the mess, and that's enough reason to go for me.
It's my job to be better than the best, and that makes the day for me.
It's my job to be better than the best, and that makes the day for me.
Okay, as I mentioned at the beginning of the show, I have to confess that basically I just slapped this one together because I had to get something uploaded to the website as soon as possible.
The demands on my time for this week are overwhelming, and I have to get back to writing, especially on the special September Northwest Observer issue.
I was even tempted to select an old show from a few years ago that most of you probably never heard or don't remember.
And post it as a rerun.
But I figured, nah, that'd be too tacky.
And besides, who knows, I may have to do that next week.
I apologize for this.
It's sloppy and unprofessional and you folks deserve better.
But the fact is that it's going to be happening more and more often as I simply get buried in work.
Stuff that right now only I can do for a variety of reasons.
Now that is not a good place for us to be in.
There is entirely too much that only I can do, and that is a vulnerability which we have to bring to an end.
Now, as some of you know, I do have some help now, but the problem is that these people have to make a living.
There is simply way too much that requires either extended physical presence here at my side or else the ability and knowledge and authority for someone to actually deputize for me.
And make policy-related decisions based on the 14 words.
In other words, I need someone who is here at my side, not a thousand miles away behind a computer keyboard, and who is basically a clone of me.
I've said before, what I need is me at age 25. That's that national organizer that I keep begging to step forward.
And, by the way, before you do step forward...
Please bear in mind that as badly as I need somebody to take over this vitally important job, I can't just have an internet walk-in.
There are, in fact, just a tiny handful of people in the world who could do this job and whom I would allow to attempt to do this job.
For one thing, they would have to have a traceable track record within the white nationalist movement.
We can't just have some guy that walks in off the internet attempt the national organizing position for the Northwest Front.
Ain't going to happen.
So you might want to bear that in mind when you hear me bitching and moaning.
Now, in the absence of this national organizer, we're pretty much bogged down.
I'm trying to be both propaganda minister and national organizer, do the work of both, and as can be expected, and as usually happens in situations like that, I'm not doing either job well or to the best of my abilities.
So if I sound a little crabby and frustrated, that's one reason why.
Okay, look, I won't go off into an extended tirade about all this except to say that this party has to professionalize.
And it has to start happening now.
The simple fact is that we can no longer rely on pure volunteerism to move the party forward.
The blunt fact is that if we want competent help, we are going to have to pay for it.
Now, this means that I'm going to have to get a lot less reticent about money in the coming months, and you're going to start hearing all this bullshit about how, oh, Harold is a con man.
Harold is a fraud.
Harold is a money grubber.
He's going to rip you off.
No, I'm not.
It's just simply gotten to the point where we have to move forward, and I'm going to have to do whatever I have to do in order to make that happen.
Yes, I admit, I have always been hypersensitive about the accusation of being a fraud and a conman precisely because in the white nationalist movement, there have been so many of those.
I really, really do not want to find myself officially in the company of, well, certain other individuals.
I'm sure you can all name them.
But I know that as soon as I start talking about money to any great extent, the goat dancers are going to light in on me yelling, conman, conman, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Anyway, today, as it happens, I took the first step towards professionalizing the Northwest Front.
Now, that's one of the many things that I have to take care of during my end-of-the-month rush over the next week or ten days.
That's beginning that process of professionalization, which, for reasons that should be obvious, I won't talk about any more at this time.
Again, I apologize for this week's rush job on the show, and please accept my assurances that it was necessary.
But for now, our time is up, and so that's it for this week's edition of Radio Free Northwest.
This program is brought to you by the Northwest Front Post Office Box 4856, Seattle, Washington 98194, or you can go to the party's website at www.northwestfront.org.
This is Harold Covington, and I'll see you next week.
